Tu & Th 1p-2p (MAY 21-JUNE 6) in FSH 213
This 3-week, fast-paced workshop is designed for
graduate students (2nd year or later) who are on the cusp of publishing
their science and have a strong desire to get their messages out beyond
the ivory tower. Students will better understand the
latest research on effective science communication and engagement;
learn tools for developing clear messages about complex research
findings; and practice talking about what they do - and it why matters -
in clear, lively terms. The clinic will be taught by
Liz Neeley and Heather Galindo (COMPASS and Affiliate UW Staff).
Although this clinic will not be offered for credit
this term, it is essential professional development and will fulfill
the prerequisite for future clinics on engaging with the traditional and
online social media in Spring 2014.
What is COMPASS?

a non-profit dedicated to helping scientists connect themselves and
their science to the wider world. By giving scientists the communication
